Re: [PATCH] grep: simple test for operation in a bare repository

René Scharfe [off-list ref] writes:

This patch converts the setenv() calls in path.c and setup.c.  After
the call, git grep with a pager works again in bare repos.

It leaves the setenv(GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT, ...) calls in git.c alone, as
they respond to command line switches that emulate the effect of setting
the environment variable directly.

The remaining site in environment.c is in set_git_dir() and is left
alone, too, of course.  Finally, builtin-init-db.c is left changed
because the repo is still being carefully constructed when the
environment variable is set.

Thanks for a thorough analysis.  The patch looks correct and I am very
tempted to put it into 1.7.0, though I'd stop at queuing it to 'next'.
